Template!
Here is a new template: the Software Development Tool Validation Plan.
It is made for validation of software development tools, as seen in the previous series of posts.
It is very similar to the all-in-one template but with a major difference: it contains sections and comments to help validating software not internally developed, like software bought to a vendor or open-source software.
It doesn't contain the risk management data. They shall remain in the dedicated templates: Risk management plan and Risk analysis report.
More templates on my templates repository page.
Please, feel free to give me feedback on my e-mail contact@cm-dm.com

I've already posted a long list of templates on this blog. You can find them on the templates repository page.
There are templates for big projects, with one or more templates for every phase of a software development project. And there is the all-in-one template for very simple projects. This list lacks templates for simple projects that deserve more than a single document.
Here are the three templates:
- Software Development Management
- Software Specifications and Conception
- Software Verification and Tests
The advantage of this list is to have multiple specification conception and tests phases. The management template is filled at the beginning of the project. The Specification and Conception template is filled and updated each time these artifacts change. And the tests template is filled during each tests phase.
They fit simple to middle size projects:
- Project timeline of 1 year
- Team of 4 developers
- Simple architecture (standalone or client-server)
They don't contain the risk management data. They shall remain in the dedicated templates: Risk management plan and risk analysis report.
More templates on my templates repository page.

All templates I have written are listed in my templates repository page. I already explained in that page and some other articles how to use them with waterfall development process.
But their use is not obvious with agile methods. Here are a few explanations.

Template!
Here is a new template: the all-in-one template for software development process.
It is made for simple software development project where everything can be put in only one document. Especially, there is room for only one verification phase in the template. this is a deliberate situation. If you plan to have more than a single phase of verification, you should use other templates (link on template repository page below at the end of this post).
It contains simple and reduced parts of:
- Project management plan,
- Software Requirements Specifications,
- System Architecture Document,
- Software Tests Plan, Description and Report.
It doesn't contain the risk management data. They shall remain in the dedicated templates: Risk management plan and Risk analysis report.
More templates on my templates repository page.

Perhaps some of you who download my templates wonder how I managed to write them or where they come from.
This is a long story. Once upon a time in 1940’s, Bell Labs scientists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Schockley invented the transistor.
Well, huh, not so long!

At last, here is the Risk Management Plan Template.
The risk management plan was missing in my list of templates. Error repaired! It is tailor made for software medical devices. So you'll find some stuff specific to software, with references to IEC/TR 80002-1 and IEC 62304.
